Officer’s Reports:
V.P. of Academic Affairs (ARC Chair: Nima):
-Student Faculty Conference committees are writing up final reports. Nima will make a Faculty Board presentation regarding the SFC. Freshman peer advising is being set up for the Class of 2019. This advising will try to blend in peer advising alongside faculty and could include advising for frosh on first-term registration.
-Take a prof to lunch!
V.P. of Non-Academic Affairs (IHC Chair: Connor):
-Concerns about pulling all-nighters have motivated discussion on the effectiveness of changing due times to nights (midnight-2am) or afternoons (4pm-6pm) for core classes. Guidelines on this could come from Core Curriculum Steering Committee, a directive of the Vice Provost, or conversations between the core professors and the ARC/IHC chairs.
